BOURGMESTRE DE CHAMBERY ELECTION
ISSUED BY MELISA VANFER TOR, MAITRE D'CHAMBERY
ON THE 11TH DAY OF SUN'S SMILE, YEAR 215 OF THE SECOND AGE
___________________________________________________________________________________
To the Esteemed Citizens of Chambery,
My time as Bourgmestra of Chambery has been one of education and prosperity. I took the mantle upon myself as an ambitious young girl who dreamed of a world of peace. My goals have changed little in my time occupying the role, and I hope to forever strive for that idyllic dream. It is in the interest of these goals, and the esteemed citizens of Chambery, that I now alleviate myself of this title. While the citizens of the Free City will always find loyalty in me- I am not the aimless girl who stepped into this role. Serving the people of Chambery, and of the Commonwealth beyond, has altered me in ways that I shall be eternally appreciative of. My path beckons me elsewhere, but a fragment of my soul will forever remain within the glistening waters of the Free Port that I have called home for so much of my life.
I will be abdicating my role as Bourgemestra of Chambery, and hosting an election so that the Citizens of the Free City may once more decide upon a just Leader. A radiant dawn sits upon Chambery’s horizon. And though I will not be present to witness it, I have the utmost faith in the citizens, guilds and Councilors of this city to elevate us from this precipice and bring us to greatness. Support will be offered to anyone who may require it during this transition, and I will continue to fulfill my duties with honor until the conclusion of my term.
Signed,
Melisa Vanfer Tor
Maitre d'Chambery
